Health checkup facilities offering Tumor Markers (Blood Test) in Okinawa

A blood test that measures the levels of substances associated with cancer

What Tumor Markers (Blood Test) can reveal & when to get it

This test measures substances in the blood that may increase in the presence of cancer (such as CEA, CA19-9, AFP, and CA125). A single blood draw can provide clues about multiple organs, though this test is considered supplementary in nature.

Main conditions it can detect and evaluate

  • Potential indicators of various types of cancer
  • Monitoring markers for post-treatment follow-up

When to consider this test

This is an optional, elective test. It serves as a supplementary exam intended to be combined with imaging studies, and is not suited for detecting or confirming cancer on its own.

Screening interval: Optional/elective. Typically performed once a year as part of a comprehensive health checkup (ningen dock), or as advised by a physician.

Benefits

  • Requires only a blood draw, minimizing physical burden
  • Provides clues about multiple organs in a single test
  • Useful for monitoring progress after cancer treatment

Points to note when getting tested

  • !Levels are often not elevated in early-stage cancers
  • !Values can rise due to non-cancerous conditions (e.g., inflammation, smoking, or benign diseases)
  • !Elevated numbers alone are not conclusive — imaging studies are required for further evaluation
